As a resident Hoosier, Mike Pence would do himself and the rest of America a big favor to take this opportunity to cut ties with this train wreck.

Pence knew what he was signing on for. The entire Republican party knew who Donald Trump was a long time ago.

There's been any number of truly horrible things Donald Trump has said in the past six months that the GOP has glossed over or simply pretended didn't happen - or, at best, say "that's bad" and then skip the part where being bad has consequences. The difference is that up until this point they've mostly been about minorities or liberals. The GOP thinks it can win without minorities or liberals - but they know they still need a healthy share of white women to have a shot at victory, and that's why the knives have come out now.

Are you under the impression that the horrible religio-political things that Mike Pence has said about and politically done to both women and LGBT folks over the past 25 years is any less egregious than what Trump has said?

His RFRA was supposed to catapult him to the Repub nomination, and it was such a train wreck that it blew him out of the water before he left dock. He went from a political non entity to "one heart beat away" from the top job. He'll ride that train over cliff to the bottom again.

And his debate performance and mild distaste for Trump policies may give a better shot in four years. By then Hillary will have appointed all the Supremes and enacted her godless laws and Pence will have something to rail against.

No. My point was that Pence is a turd of a human being, and that's a good part of why he's Trump's VP candidate, and you can't "cut ties" with the Donald after he says one bad thing when he's already said hundreds of bad things and you pretended he didn't.
